<p>Another method I have used to prevent tear out is to only raise the blade 1/16 inch to cut the bottom veneer. Then raise the blade to normal height, and cut completely through the plywood. Sometimes this works better than taping.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Gary V Morris said:</cite></p>

So you could <strong>just score across the grain with a sharp razor knife</strong> as suggested and not have to deal with scoring the with-the-grain cuts. Saves you time and effort.</p>

<p>Joe,</p>
<p>You don't need to wrap it ''<em>the whole way around</em>''---</p>
<p>start about 3'' from the edge---</p>
<p>then wrap it over the edge---</p>
<p>then continue on the underside, about 3''.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Adhesive residue will be on the wood surface, after removing the tape, and</p>
<p>needs to be removed---using a damped cloth with ''mineral spirits'', should do the trick.</p>

<p>Re avoid chipping and tear-out</p>
<p>Masking tape firmly applied over the end of the work-piece, where the saw blade exits, is effective.</p>
<p>Just wrap a 2'' wide strip of tape, starting the on the top side, wrapping it around over the edge and then back underneath the work-piece.</p>

<p>This is akin to using a backer-board on the trailing edge of the work-piece, when making cuts with a router bit.</p>
<p>The board keeps the fibers compressed into the work-piece.</p>
